Speaking of Malcolm X, Newt Gingrich is stomping his feet wanting to know why liberals are upset about this shooting but ignoring the threat of “American Islamists”. I guess it’s pissing him off that people have taken a break from freaking out about Muslims. After all, he’s got a movie to sell. Focus, America, focus!

Newt,

As an American liberal, I am able to walk and chew gum at the same time. I continue to be concerned about the ongoing attempts of jihadis foreign and domestic to damage the United States, and appreciate the good work done by the FBI and law enforcement to make sure their plans do not come to fruition.

Nevertheless, I feel that I am entitled to spend a couple of weeks being concerned each and every time a federal judge is assassinated, and/or a member of the U.S. Congress shot in the head, and/or several people, including a child and senior citizens are murdered at a neighborhood political event. Given that, I expect to be obsessed with this situation for about six weeks.

Thanks for your concern,

SFZ
